    79. You don't hate your body as much as you think...

    Before you decide you need to lose weight, cut carbs, start over, get stricter, shrink yourself or “finally get your body together”… I need you to hear this episode! You know that moment where you’re exhausted, overstimulated, emotionally wrung out… and suddenly you’re standing in front of the mirror thinking… “I HATE my body”“I need to get back on track”“Something has to change” So the mental spiral begins. Calories. Steps. Cutting carbs. Starting over. Fixing yourself. But what if your body was never actually the problem? In this episode, I’m unpacking the hidden pattern of body scapegoating Where hidden stress and big feelings get redirected onto your body because it feels like the easiest thing to control So if you’ve ever spiralled about your body after a hard day or stressful week, felt the urge to diet every time life feels overwhelming or found yourself trapped between body obsession and binge/restrict cycles and can’t quite put a finger on why …this episode will probably shine some light on what’s underneath that We’re talking about: why your body becomes the emotional punching bag (and subtle signs you’re taking stress out on your body)the real reason “fixing your body” never creates lasting peacehow dieting and control behaviours become coping mechanismsthe overlap between body image distress and emotional dysregulationwhat to ask yourself to stop next Monday turning into another “start over” moment If you recognised yourself in this episode and you’re tired of constantly trying to fix your life through your body, this is exactly the kind of work we do inside coaching so you can make peace with food and your body, enjoy your one life and pass that relationship onto your kids - apply here

    78. Why Summer makes you feel wrong in your body

    If summer makes you feel like your body has suddenly become a problem to fix If the approach to it is making you feel like you are behind in some way or “wrong” exactly how you are I’m going to shift that for you in today's episode Because the pressure you’re feeling right now isn’t really about your body at all You might have dieted before and felt better, more confident, more in control, less self conscious  But at the same time…You were thinking about food moreManaging it. Monitoring it.Trying not to lose the progressNever fully switching off Or maybe you hit a goal weight and the satisfaction slowly dissipates until you move the goalposts again So why does summer bring this up every year? And why does changing your body never quite give you the ease or lasting peace you’re actually looking for? In this episode, I break down what’s really driving this cycle and what actually needs to change if you want to feel calm, confident and present this summer…and every summer thereafter without it depending on your body Don’t forget to share this podcast with someone you feel might benefit, leave a 5* review so more people can find it AND if you’re ready to go beyond awareness and actually LIVE these principles in your life so you can feel free from the yo-yo with food, the noise, the constant on edge feeling and feel at peace around food and in yourself no matter where you are or what season it is - your application to 1:1 coaching is here

    77. Why you don't actually have body autonomy...

    You know you have body autonomy You’ve heard it time and time again, you have autonomy over what you decide to do with your body It’s your choice And yet it doesn’t actually feel like a choice Not pursuing weight loss feels uncomfortable, distressing, scary, maybe even unfathomable to you And pursuing it feels urgent, pressured and like your mood, your eating and how you feel about yourself relies on that number trending down (or at least not going up) And on top of that, it feels like you’re relying on willpower that could topple at any moment, your eating habits can swing excessively and there’s a noise that never quite switches off in your brain around food What if this wasn’t about your discipline but the fact your choices aren’t actually coming from autonomy (even if you think they are)? 👀 We’re getting into: Why “my body, my choice” isn’t the full pictureThe subtle signs your choices or weight loss goals aren’t as autonomous as they feelThe hidden pressure shaping your goals (and your yo-yo with food)Why you feel stuck between food freedom and body changeAnd what actually changes when you do have real autonomy So get listening And if you’re ready to get food out of your brainspace, stop feeling like you’re one moment away from bingeing or falling off track and finally make sustainable changes to your eating and your health that feel calm, trusting and come from YOU (not your next diet or accountability challenge) 1:1 coaching is where we build the autonomy in your relationship with food, yourself and your body to do exactly that - you can apply here P.S. Here’s the anonymous question box I promised for the podcast about GLP-1s/weight loss drugs

    76. You’re going about body image wrong and here’s why

    Ever feel like one body comment, scale fluctuation, or “bad body image day” can spiral into days of overthinking, food chaos, or wanting to fix yourself? You might assume the goal is to stop being triggered altogether… But in this episode, I’m sharing why that’s actually an unhelpful aim and the powerful shift I taught a client this week that completely changed how she approached those moments… If you feel like your mood, eating, confidence or plans can still get hijacked when your body image is activated, this conversation will give you a different way to look at what’s really happening And how to actually make sustainable changes to how you think, feel and behave around food and your body  And if you’re ready to stop spiralling around food and your body and build a more peaceful, resilient and sustainable relationship with food and your body, you can apply to work with me 1:1 here

    74. When "nobody cares what you look like" doesn't work

    My guess is telling yourself “nobody cares what I look like” or “stop caring what everyone else thinks” hasn’t actually helped calm your thoughts and feelings about your body has it?  You still change outfits six times, check the mirror obsessively, stress over the scale or avoid plans because of how your body looks In this episode, I break down why that common advice keeps failing you and what you can do instead to stop letting other people’s opinions, comparison or triggering situations control how you feel about your body and the actions you take If you’re ready to start feeling calmer in your body and more in control your choices, this episode is for you JOIN 1:1 COACHING HERE

    73. Don’t take health advice from Mike Tyson

    This week, I’m breaking down WHY that Mike Tyson Super Bowl commercial seriously missed the mark and no, I'm not "reading too much into it" We dig into why the delivery of this ad did more long term health harm than good, why body size does not equal health and why simplistic “eat real food” messaging misses the complexity of health and sustainable behaviour change. Along the way, I challenge diet culture myths and explore the hidden influences shaping how we think about food, bodies and health whilst providing YOU with a starting point for supporting your own health long term outside of reductive and shame-based advice Let's get into it shall we?! Don't forget if you want to chat (for free) about what sustainable and stress free health would look like for you and the steps YOU personally need to take to support that, DM me "audit" on Instagram and I'll send you my booking calendar for a free health audit call so you can clear up the confusion and have clarity NOW And if you're ready to be free from food noise, yo-yo patterns with food and dieting and find your sustainable happy middle ground with food, your body and your health, here's the link to apply for 1:1 coaching

    72. This is not to blame for your overeating

    Do you feel like certain foods make you “lose control”? Like once chocolate, cake or carbs are around, it’s only a matter of time? Do you eat “good” all week, save treats for the weekend, avoid buying foods you don’t trust yourself around, then end up overeating anyway and blaming yourself? If yes, I’m going to tell you WHY this is Because overeating is not a food problem or a willpower problem (And thinking this is actually causing MORE overeating - I’ll tell you why that is too) In this episode, we go beyond the food to unpack what’s actually driving overeating cycles and why trying to “control” food is often the very thing keeping you feeling like a sugar addict  If you’re ready to stop fighting food, stop blaming yourself and understand what’s really going on beneath your eating patterns, press play!! And if you’re ready for my tailored support in overcoming overeating cycles, healing your relationship with food and finding your sustainable, peaceful and healthful middle ground with food and your body for life, your application for 1:1 coaching is here
